It's no secret that the winter months are full of social events. From work parties to holiday parties to new years celebrations, there seems to be something scheduled for every night of the week. Well, today's gift guide is for your social butterfly whether that be your best friend, your girl friend, your wife, or your mom!

I think the ideal way to dress for holiday parties and social events without having to spend a lot of money is to invest in a black dress that is simple, yet stylish, and then change out the accessories for each party. After all, sometimes it's best to let the details do the talking.

I centered today's gift guide around the clutch I have been coveting for years: this gorgeous Allison Mitchell oversized calf hair clutch in Merlot. While most of the items in my GG are near the $50 range, this clutch would be considered an investment piece. It's a piece you could carry to any event, wear any day, and style year after year and still be on trend.

Don't feel like spending that much on a clutch? No worries, I got your back! Andi from Andi Daily and I have teamed up with Allison Mitchell to give away one of our favorite AM clutches!! The giveaway will run in early December and end in time for the holiday! So, stay tuned because this is something you don't want to miss out on!

NOTE: I will be doing a GG every Wednesday from now until Christmas, so be sure to check in each week & feel free to leave a message in the comment section if there's a particular gift guide you'd like to see!

Thanks for reading!!
